(b) Every 12 months, the court shall determine whether the agency made reasonable efforts to finalize the permanency plan for the child, which means the exercise of due diligence by the agency to:
(1) ensure that the agreement for voluntary foster care is the most appropriate legal arrangement to meet the child's safety, health, and best interests and to conduct a genuine examination of whether there is another permanency disposition order under chapter 260C, including returning the child home, that would better serve the child's need for a stable and permanent home;
(2) engage and support the parent in continued involvement in planning and decision making for the needs of the child;
(3) strengthen the child's ties to the parent, relatives, and community;
(4) implement the out-of-home placement plan required under section260C.212, subdivision 1, and ensure that the plan requires the provision of appropriate services to address the physical health, mental health, and educational needs of the child;
(5) submit evidence to the court as specified in section260C.712when a child is placed in a qualified residential treatment program setting as defined in section260C.007, subdivision 26d; and
